Fisher Stevens

Youthful character actor Fisher Stevens was first seen on Broadway at age 19 in Harvey Fierstein's Torch Song Trilogy; he followed this with a plum role in Neil Simon's Brighton Beach Memoirs. Stevens' film resumé includes The Flamingo Kid (1984), The Boss' Wife (1986), Reversal of Fortune (1990), and The Marrying Man (1991). During what may turn out to be the most highly publicized period in his life, Stevens was once the Significant Other of actress Michelle Pfeiffer. Stevens is familiar to most filmgoers, however, for his role as malaprop-laden Indian technical whiz Ben Jabituya in the two Short Circuit films of the late '80s. In the 2000s, Stevens found new success on the other side of the camera, as a prolific producer of both independent and mainstream Hollywood films. - Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
